This game was very frustrating for me, because it was a player that was nominally only a little stronger, and in the opening made moves that should be punished immediately. Three corners were me playing at the star-point, and getting hit with a shoulder-hit/armpit-hit immediately. I should be able to capitalize on this, as I am a stone ahead and getting stronger groups.
However, I lost both stones and position in all four corners to a player that was only slightly stronger. My question:
* How to respond to unusual openings? Where was I over extending?
The game was resigned before the corners merged, so I made similar mistakes on each corner.
White made a bunch of overplays and black was very determined to take the big moves, but in the end Black's groups ended up weak.
Most important thing to remember: "Urgent moves before big moves". Keep your groups strong and the opponents groups weak.

Very interesting review. It's great to stress one learning in are view like you did, EdIV. I'll try to also do this in my next analysis.
